Deuteronomy 27

1 Then Moses and the elders of Israel instructed the people, saying: “Keep each commandment that I instruct to you this day.

Israel kacoehtanawk hoi kaminawk khaeah Mosi mah thuih ih lok loe, Vaihniah kang paek ih kaaloknawk hae pakuem o boih ah.

2 And when you have crossed over the Jordan, into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, you shall erect immense stones, and you shall coat them with plaster,

Na Angraeng Sithaw mah paek ih prae thungah na kun o moe, Jordan vapui nang kat o naah, kalen parai thlung to pakhueng oh loe, thlung bethaih kaw hoiah bet oh.

3 so that you may be able to write upon them all the words of this law, when you have crossed the Jordan so as to enter into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as he swore to your fathers.

Nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah nangcae khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih baktih toengah, nangcae han paek ih prae, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae thungah akun moe, vapui nang kat o naah, hae kaaloknawk hae thlung pongah tarik o boih ah.

4 Therefore, when you have crossed over the Jordan, erect the stones, just as I instruct you to do this day, on Mount Ebal. And you shall coat them with plaster,

To pongah Jordan vapui nang kat o pacoengah, vaihniah kang thuih o ih lok baktih toengah, Ebal mae ah thlung to tling oh loe, thlung bethaih kaw hoiah bet oh.

5 and you shall build, in that place, an altar to the Lord your God out of stones which have not been touched by iron,

To ahmuen ah na Angraeng Sithaw hanah, hmaicam maeto thlung hoiah sah oh; to thlung nuiah kawbaktih sum doeh tling o hmah.

6 out of stones which have not been hewn or polished. And you shall offer holocausts on it to the Lord your God.

Na Angraeng Sithaw ih hmaicam to thlung hoi khue ah sah oh, to thlung nuiah na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah angbawnhaih to sah oh.

7 And you shall immolate peace victims. And you shall eat and feast in that place, in the sight of the Lord your God.

Angdaeh angbawnhaih to sah oh loe, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah anghoehaih hoiah caa oh.

8 And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law, plainly and clearly.”

Na raemh o ih thlung nuiah hae ih kaaloknawk boih hae kamnoek ah tarik oh, tiah a thuih pae.

9 And Moses and the priests of Levitical stock said to all of Israel: “Attend and listen, O Israel! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God.

To pacoengah Mosi hoi Levi acaeng qaimanawk mah Israel kaminawk boih khaeah, Aw Israel kaminawk, acoehaih hoiah tahngai oh; nangcae loe vaihniah na Angraeng Sithaw ih kami ah na oh o boeh.

10 You shall listen to his voice, and you shall do the commandments and justices, which I am entrusting to you.”

Na Angraeng Sithaw ih lok to tahngai oh loe, vaihniah kang paek o ih, anih ih kaalok hoi lokcaekhaihnawk to tahngai oh, tiah a naa.

11 And Moses instructed the people in that day, saying:

Mosi mah to na niah kaminawk khaeah thuih pae let ih lok loe,

12 “These shall stand upon Mount Gerizim, as a blessing to the people, when you will have crossed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

Jordan vapui nang kat o pacoengah, kaminawk tahamhoihaih paek hanah, Gerizim mae nuiah angdoe han koi kaminawk loe Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issakar, Joseph hoi Benjamin acaengnawk hae ni.

13 And in the opposite region, there shall stand upon Mount Ebal, as a curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

To pacoengah Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan hoi Naphtali acaengnawk loe tangoeng hanah Ebal mae ah angdoe o tih.

14 And the Levites shall pronounce and declare to all the men of Israel, with an exalted voice:
